Golf Tips - Stop Slicing - Swing From the Inside

103 2
Everyone wants to eliminate their slice or at least tame the monster.
The slice is not only directionally challenged but distance challenged as well.
There are two basic ways to cure a slice one is to hit the ball with a square club face and the second is to correct your path.
We will examine the path less traveled today.
The second step in eliminating the slice is to swing the club on an inside path.
Most slicers have a tendency to swing the club on an outside to inside swing path.
Many times this fault can be traced back to the transition of the backswing to the forward swing.
All most all slicers tend to start the forward swing with their shoulders or hands leading the swing.
Unfortunately this action forces the club to travel "over the top" making the club approach the ball from outside the target line.
This outside-to-inside swing path can cause fat shots, it creates only a glancing blow, and helps accentuate an already existing slice.
Many golfers force the club on this path thinking that because the club is traveling in the opposite direction will eliminate the slice.
Instead you should use the bump and drop method to start the forward swing.
It is two moves that are perform simultaneously.
The first move is the bump.
Simply it is the start of the weight shift that occurs when the target hip shifts slightly towards the target as your weight begins to shift to your target foot.
The second move is the drop.
The arms drop slightly as if a small amount of air has been let out of them.
The combination of these two move allow the club to remain inside the target line as the club approaches the ball.
The key word in both the bump and drop moves is that it is a "slight" move.
Nothing drastic, no over doing it, just a slight drop and a slight bump done simultaneously.
Couple this exercise with the proper grip and your slice should be gone in no time.
Remember the two factors that create the slice is the open club face and the path.
For most golfers who slice this path is outside-to-inside.
Today we concentrated more on correcting the path.
Use the bump and drop method to help the golf club travel along the path less traveled.
